Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year as a whole. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary, consisting of normal recurring accruals, except as otherwise noted, for a fair statement of the Company’s financial results for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. A listing of the Company’s critical accounting estimates is described in the “Critical Accounting Estimates” section of “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Form 10-Q and elsewhere in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 11, 2009 (File No: 333-148847), which includes audited financial statements.
These consolidated financial statements and condensed notes to consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2008 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. The 2008 year-end consolidated balance sheet data included in this Form 10-Q was derived from the audited financial statements referenced above, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Nature of operations
As of March 31, 2009, the network of 61 ADESA whole car auctions and 150 IAAI salvage vehicle auctions facilitates the sale of used and salvage vehicles through physical, online or hybrid auctions, which permit Internet buyers to participate in physical auctions. ADESA Auctions and IAAI are leading, national providers of wholesale and salvage vehicle auctions and related vehicle redistribution services for the automotive industry in North America. Redistribution services include a variety of activities designed to transfer used and salvage vehicles between sellers and buyers throughout the vehicle life cycle. ADESA Auctions and IAAI facilitate the exchange of these vehicles through an auction marketplace, which aligns sellers and buyers. As an agent for customers, the companies generally do not take title to or ownership of the vehicles sold at the auctions. Generally fees are earned from the seller and buyer on each successful auction transaction in addition to fees earned for ancillary services.
ADESA has the second largest used vehicle auction network in North America, based upon the number of used vehicles sold through auctions annually, and also provides services such as inbound and outbound logistics, reconditioning, vehicle inspection and certification, titling, administrative and salvage recovery services. ADESA is able to serve the diverse and multi-faceted needs of its customers through the wide range of services offered at its facilities.
IAAI is a leading provider of salvage vehicle auctions and related services in North America. The salvage auctions facilitate the redistribution of damaged vehicles that are designated as total losses by insurance companies, recovered stolen vehicles for which an insurance settlement with the vehicle owner has already been made and older model vehicles donated to charity or sold by dealers in salvage auctions. The salvage auction business specializes in providing services such as inbound and outbound logistics, inspections, evaluations, titling and settlement administrative services.
AFC is a leading provider of floorplan financing to independent used vehicle dealers and this financing is provided through 88 loan production offices located throughout North America. Floorplan financing supports independent used vehicle dealers in North America who purchase vehicles from ADESA auctions, IAAI auctions, independent auctions, auctions affiliated with other auction networks and non-auction purchases.
Note 2—New Accounting Standards
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157,Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, establishes a hierarchy based on the observability of inputs used to measure fair value and requires expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008, with respect to financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value. In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-2,Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which delayed the effective date by one year for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, at least annually. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-2 on January 1, 2009 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(R),Business Combinations. The statement establishes principles and requirements for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets and goodwill acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in an acquisition, at their fair value as of the acquisition date. In addition, in relation to previous acquisitions, the provisions of SFAS 141(R) will require any release of existing income tax valuation allowances or recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits initially established

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
March 31, 2009 (Unaudited)
through purchase accounting to be included in earnings rather than as an adjustment to goodwill. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company adopted SFAS 141(R) on January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 141(R) did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. However, depending on the extent and size of future acquisitions, if any, the adoption may have material effects.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an Amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51. The statement amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted SFAS 160 on January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 160 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161,Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. This new standard requires enhanced disclosures for derivative instruments, including those used in hedging activities. These enhanced disclosures include information about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted SFAS 161 on January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 161 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. See Note 6 for additional information.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 162,The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.The statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. This standard is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411,The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 162 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Note 3—Stock-Based Compensation Plans
The Company’s stock-based compensation expense includes expense associated with KAR Holdings, Inc. service option awards, KAR LLC operating unit awards and Axle Holdings II, LLC (“LLC”) operating unit awards. The Company initially classified the service options as equity awards and the KAR LLC and LLC operating units as liability awards. In February 2009, the Company took certain actions related to its stock-based compensation plans which resulted in all outstanding awards being classified as liability awards prospectively. The main difference between a liability-classified award and an equity-classified award is that liability-classified awards are remeasured each reporting period at fair value. The liability for these awards is recorded in “Other liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheet. Per FAS 123(R), an award that changes its classification from equity to liability should result in compensation cost equal to the greater of (1) the grant-date fair value of the original equity award or (2) the fair value of the liability award when it is settled.
The compensation cost that was charged against income for all stock-based compensation plans was $0.4 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 and the total income tax benefit recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for stock-based compensation agreements was
10
KAR Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
March 31, 2009 (Unaudited)
approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. The Company did not capitalize any stock-based compensation cost in the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
Note 4—Finance Receivables
AFC sells the majority of its U.S. dollar denominated finance receivables on a revolving basis and without recourse to a wholly owned, bankruptcy remote, consolidated, special purpose subsidiary (“AFC Funding Corporation”), established for the purpose of purchasing AFC’s finance receivables. A securitization agreement allows for the revolving sale by AFC Funding Corporation to a bank conduit facility of up to a maximum of $750 million in undivided interests in certain eligible finance receivables subject to committed liquidity. The agreement expires on April 20, 2012. AFC Funding Corporation had committed liquidity of $450 million at March 31, 2009. Receivables that AFC Funding sells to the bank conduit facility qualify for sales accounting for financial reporting purposes pursuant to SFAS 140,Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities, and as a result are not reported on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.
On January 30, 2009, AFC and AFC Funding entered into an amendment to the Receivables Purchase Agreement with the other parties named therein. The aggregate maximum commitment of the Purchasers was reduced from $600 million to $450 million. In addition, the calculation of the Purchasers’ participation was amended, reducing the amount received by AFC Funding upon the sale of an interest in the receivables to the Purchasers. Certain of the covenants in the Receivables Purchase Agreement that are tied to the performance of the finance receivables portfolio were also modified.
At March 31, 2009, AFC managed total finance receivables of $437.6 million, of which $367.2 million had been sold without recourse to AFC Funding Corporation. At December 31, 2008, AFC managed total finance receivables of $506.6 million, of which $436.5 million had been sold without recourse to AFC Funding Corporation. Undivided interests in finance receivables were sold by AFC Funding Corporation to the bank conduit facility with recourse totaling $243.0 million and $298.0 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. Finance receivables include $27.2 million and $6.6 million classified as held for sale which are recorded at lower of cost or fair value, and $107.6 million and $158.6 million classified as held for investment at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. Finance receivables classified as held for investment include $25.1 million and $69.8 million related to receivables that were sold to the bank conduit facility that were repurchased by AFC at fair value when they became ineligible under the terms of the collateral agreement with the bank conduit facility at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The face amount of these receivables was $29.9 million and $78.7 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
AFC’s allowance for losses of $6.5 million and $6.3 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 includes an estimate of losses for finance receivables held for investment as well as an allowance for any further deterioration in the finance receivables after they are repurchased from the bank conduit facility. Additionally, accrued liabilities of $2.6 million and $3.0 million for the estimated losses for loans sold by the special purpose subsidiary were recorded at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. These loans were sold to a bank conduit facility with recourse to the special purpose subsidiary and will come back on the balance sheet of the special purpose subsidiary at fair market value if they become ineligible under the terms of the collateral arrangement with the bank conduit facility.
The outstanding receivables sold, the retained interests in finance receivables sold and a cash reserve of 1 or 3 percent of total sold receivables serve as security for the receivables that have been sold to the bank conduit facility. The amount of the cash reserve depends on circumstances which are set forth in the securitization agreement. After the occurrence of a termination event, as defined in the securitization agreement, the bank

conduit facility may, and could, cause the stock of AFC Funding Corporation to be transferred to the bank conduit facility, though as a practical matter the bank conduit facility would look to the liquidation of the receivables under the transaction documents as their primary remedy.
Proceeds from the revolving sale of receivables to the bank conduit facility are used to fund new loans to customers. AFC and AFC Funding Corporation must maintain certain financial covenants including, among others, limits on the amount of debt AFC can incur, minimum levels of tangible net worth, and other covenants tied to the performance of the finance receivables portfolio. The securitization agreement also incorporates the financial covenants of the Company’s credit facility. At March 31, 2009, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in the securitization agreement.
The following illustration presents quantitative information about delinquencies, credit losses less recoveries (“net credit losses”) and components of securitized financial assets and other related assets managed. For purposes of this illustration, delinquent receivables are defined as receivables 31 days or more past due.

Credit Facilities
In 2007 the Company entered into new senior secured credit facilities, comprised of a $300.0 million revolving credit facility and a $1,565.0 million term loan. The revolver was entered into for working capital and general corporate purposes. There were no borrowings under the revolver at March 31, 2009 or December 31, 2008, although the Company did have related outstanding letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $29.3 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
In accordance with the terms in the Credit Agreement, the Company prepaid approximately $51.5 million of the term loan throughout 2008 as a result of certain asset sales. The prepayments were credited to prepay in direct order of maturity the unpaid amounts due on the next eight scheduled quarterly installments of the term loan, and thereafter to the remaining scheduled quarterly installments of the term loan on a pro rata basis. As such, there are no scheduled quarterly installments due on the term loan until March 31, 2011. In addition, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, the Company was subject to a potential prepayment on the term loan as described in the following sentence. If there is any excess cash flow, as defined in the loan documents for the Company’s senior secured credit facility, the Company shall prepay the term loan in an amount equal to 50% of the excess cash flow on or before the 105th day following the end of the fiscal year. There was no excess cash flow, as defined in the loan documents, for the year ended December 31, 2008.
The senior secured credit facilities are guaranteed by KAR LLC and each of the Company’s direct and indirect present and future material domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions (excluding among others, AFC Funding Corporation). The senior secured credit facilities are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in, and mortgages on, all present and future tangible and intangible assets of the Company and the guarantors, and the capital stock of the Company and each of its direct and indirect material domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of certain foreign subsidiaries.
The credit agreement includes covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ abilities to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, prepay other indebtedness, including the senior notes, pay dividends, create liens, make equity or debt investments,

make acquisitions, modify the terms of the indenture, engage in mergers, make capital expenditures and engage in certain transactions with affiliates. In addition, the senior secured credit facilities are subject to a senior secured leverage ratio test, provided there are revolving loans outstanding. There were no revolving loans outstanding at March 31, 2009. The Company was in compliance with the covenants in the credit facility at March 31, 2009.
Note 6—Derivatives
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on borrowings. Accordingly, interest rate fluctuations affect the amount of interest expense the Company is obligated to pay. The Credit Agreement of KAR Holdings requires that at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes and the term loans be fixed by means of interest rate protection for an initial period of not less than 2 years. As such, in July 2007, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $800 million to manage its exposure to interest rate movements on its variable rate Term Loan B credit facility. The interest rate swap agreement matures on June 30, 2009, and effectively results in a fixed LIBOR interest rate of 5.345% on $800 million of the Term Loan B credit facility. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparties; however, non-performance is not anticipated.
SFAS 133 requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the balance sheet. In accordance with SFAS 133, the Company has designated its interest rate swap agreement as a cash flow hedge. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreement is estimated using pricing models widely used in financial markets and represents the estimated amount the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreement at the reporting date. The following table presents the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap agreement included in the consolidated balance sheet for the periods presented (in millions):

The earnings impact of the interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedge is recorded upon the recognition of the interest related to the hedged debt. Any ineffectiveness in the hedging relationship is recognized in current earnings. There was no significant ineffectiveness in the first three months of 2009 or 2008. Changes in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in “Other comprehensive income”. Unrealized gains or losses on the interest rate swap agreement are included as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income”. At March 31, 2009, there was a net unrealized loss totaling $5.2 million, net of tax benefits of $3.1 million. At December 31, 2008, there was a net unrealized loss totaling $10.3 million, net of tax benefits of $6.0 million.

Note 8—Fair Value Measurements
The Company applies SFAS 157,Fair Value Measurements, to its financial assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The standard establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels:
| • | | Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| • | | Level 2—Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities, such as models or other valuation methodologies. |
| • | | Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are based on the Company’s assumptions, are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Level 3 assets and liabilities include instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. |
The following table summarizes the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with SFAS 157 (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

Interest rate swap | | $ | 16.3 | | $ | — | | $ | 16.3 | | $ | — |
Retained Interest—representative of the retained interests in finance receivables sold. The fair value of the retained interests is based upon the Company’s estimates of future cash flows, using assumptions that market participants would use to value such investments, including estimates of anticipated credit losses over the life of the finance receivables sold. The cash flows were discounted using a market discount rate. The recorded fair value, however, requires significant management judgment or estimation and may not necessarily represent what the Company would receive in an actual sale of the receivables.

Interest Rate Swap—under the interest rate swap agreement, the Company pays a fixed LIBOR rate on a portion of the Term Loan B credit facility and receives a variable LIBOR rate. The fair value of the interest rate swap is based on quoted market prices for similar instruments from a commercial bank.
Note 9—Segment Information
SFAS 131,Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, requires reporting of segment information that is consistent with the manner in which the chief operating decision maker operates and views the Company. KAR Holdings has three reportable business segments: ADESA Auctions, IAAI and AFC. These reportable segments offer different services and are managed separately based on the fundamental differences in their operations.
The holding company is maintained separately from the three reportable segments and includes expenses associated with the corporate office, such as salaries, benefits, and travel costs for the corporate management team, certain human resources, information technology and accounting costs, and incremental insurance, treasury, legal and risk management costs. Holding company interest includes the interest incurred on the corporate debt structure. Costs incurred at the holding company are not allocated to the three business segments.

Note 10—Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is involved in litigation and disputes arising in the ordinary course of business, such as actions related to injuries; property damage; handling, storage or disposal of vehicles; environmental laws and regulations; and other litigation incidental to the business such as employment matters and dealer disputes. Management considers the likelihood of loss or the incurrence of a liability, as well as the ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss, in determining loss contingencies. The Company accrues an estimated loss contingency when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management regularly evaluates current information available to determine whether accrual amounts should be adjusted. Accruals for contingencies including litigation and environmental matters are included in “Other accrued expenses��� and “Other liabilities” at undiscounted amounts and generally exclude claims for recoveries from insurance or other third parties. These accruals are adjusted periodically as assessment and remediation efforts progress, or as additional technical or legal information become available. If the amount of an actual loss is greater than the amount accrued, this could have an adverse impact on the Company’s operating results in that period. Legal fees are expensed as incurred.
The Company has accrued, as appropriate, for environmental remediation costs anticipated to be incurred at certain of its auction facilities. Liabilities for environmental matters included in “Other accrued expenses” were $0.9 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. No amounts have been accrued as receivables for potential reimbursement or recoveries to offset this liability.
The Company stores a significant number of vehicles owned by various customers that are consigned to the Company to be auctioned. The Company is contingently liable for each consigned vehicle until the eventual sale

or other disposition, subject to certain natural disaster exceptions. Individual stop loss and aggregate insurance coverage is maintained on the consigned vehicles. These consigned vehicles are not included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In the normal course of business, the Company also enters into various other guarantees and indemnities in its relationships with suppliers, service providers, customers and others. These guarantees and indemnifications do not materially impact the Company’s financial condition or results of operations, but indemnifications associated with the Company’s actions generally have no dollar limitations and currently cannot be quantified.
As noted above, the Company is involved in litigation and disputes arising in the ordinary course of business, such as actions related to injuries; property damage; handling, storage or disposal of vehicles; environmental laws and regulations; and other litigation incidental to the business such as employment matters and dealer disputes. Such litigation is generally not, in the opinion of management, likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 11—Supplemental Guarantor Information
The Company’s obligations related to its term loan, revolver, 10% senior subordinated notes, 8 3/4% senior notes and floating rate senior notes are guaranteed on a full, unconditional, joint and several basis by certain direct and indirect present and future domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). AFC Funding Corporation and all foreign subsidiaries of the Company are not guarantors (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The following financial information sets forth, on a condensed consolidating basis, the balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows for the periods indicated for KAR Holdings, the Guarantor Subsidiaries, the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and the eliminations to arrive at KAR Holdings on a consolidated basis.
The condensed consolidating financial statements are provided as an alternative to filing separate financial statements of the Guarantor Subsidiaries. The condensed consolidating financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of KAR Holdings, Inc. and notes thereto.

Many of these risk factors are outside of the Company’s control, and as such, they involve risks which are not currently known that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed or implied herein. The forward-looking statements in this document are made as of the date on which they are made and the Company does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements.
The Company’s future growth depends on a variety of factors, including its ability to increase vehicle sold volumes and loan transaction volumes, acquire additional auctions, manage expansion, relocation and integration of acquisitions, control costs in its operations, introduce fee increases, expand its product and service offerings, including information systems development, and retain its executive officers and key employees. Certain initiatives that management considers important to the Company’s long-term success include substantial capital investment in e-business, information technology, facility relocations and expansions, as well as operating initiatives designed to enhance overall efficiencies, have significant risks associated with their execution, and could take several years to yield any direct monetary benefits. Accordingly, the Company cannot predict whether its growth strategy will be successful. In addition, the Company cannot predict what portion of overall sales will be conducted through online auctions or other redistribution methods in the future and what impact this may have on its auction business.
Executive Overview
According to ADESA Analytical Services, the number of used vehicles auctioned in North America was down over 8% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008. Retail used vehicle sales were down 5.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared with the same period in 2008. New vehicle sales experienced a decline of over 38% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2008. A decline in new vehicle sales generally results in a reduction in trade-in volumes at automobile dealers and subsequently used vehicle auction volumes from those dealers. Despite the decline in North American auction volumes and the decline in new and retail used vehicle sales, the Company experienced an increase in demand and sales volumes. The Company believes that the retail used vehicle market is impacted by many factors including new and used vehicle pricing and the overall economy.
Wholesale used vehicle prices averaged $9,880 in March 2009 as compared with $10,027 in March 2008, according to ADESA Analytical Services’ monthly analysis of Wholesale Used Vehicle Prices by Vehicle Model Class. However, full-size SUVs, full-size pickups, full-size cars and mid-size cars all registered year-over-year average price increases and March represented the 5th consecutive month of increasing average wholesale used vehicle prices versus the previous month.
Salvage vehicle supplies were stable throughout the industry during the first quarter of 2009. The Company believes increased complexity in vehicles contributes to a larger number of insurance claims resulting in a total loss. The percentage of claims resulting in total losses continues at a high level of 14%. Auction selling prices increased during the first quarter of 2009, driven by stronger used car and scrap prices since the fourth quarter of 2008.
The Company believes it is well positioned in both the used vehicle auction and salvage auction industries which have demonstrated long-term stability. The Company is one of the top three players in most markets in which it operates in an industry with high barriers (facilities, technology and expertise) to entry. ADESA Auctions and IAAI are able to serve the diverse and multi-faceted needs of customers through the wide range of services offered at their facilities. The Company’s business model consistently generates substantial operating cash flow which can be used to fund growth initiatives with minimal inventory risk.
AFC is a leading provider of floorplan financing to independent used vehicle dealers. The overall economy and in particular the automotive finance industries continue to face severe pressures which have negatively impacted AFC and its customer dealer base. In excess of 4,100 independent dealers closed their doors during
29
2008, almost a 10 percent reduction in the independent dealer base. During the second half of 2008 and in the first quarter of 2009, used vehicle dealers experienced a significant decline in sales which has resulted in a decrease in loan originations and an increased number of dealers defaulting on their loans and thus increased credit losses for both loans held and sold. The value of recovered collateral on defaulted loans has been impacted to some degree by the volatility in the vehicle pricing market.
AFC has implemented a number of strategic initiatives in 2008 and early 2009 designed to tighten credit standards and reduce risk and exposure in its portfolio of finance receivables. As a result of these initiatives along with market conditions, the size of AFC’s managed portfolio of finance receivables has decreased significantly over the past year from $857.6 million at March 31, 2008 to $437.6 million at March 31, 2009. Management believes these actions will best position AFC to maintain its strong competitive position and ultimately maintain its leadership in the industry. In the first three months of 2009, the delinquency rates at AFC have stabilized and improved compared to 2008.
In 2008 and to date, significant changes have occurred in the economy which are impacting all of KAR Holdings’ business segments. A lack of availability of consumer credit for retail used vehicle buyers, a decline in consumer spending, a reduction in the number of independent used vehicle dealers in the United States, reduced miles driven and decreases in commodity prices such as steel and platinum have all negatively impacted the Company. These trends adversely affected the Company’s operating results and business throughout the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first three months of 2009.
Changes in the business environment for U.S. automotive manufacturers have resulted in a number of initiatives to reduce costs in the auto industry. Chrysler LLC (“Chrysler”) and General Motors Corporation (“GM”) have a longstanding relationship with ADESA and regularly use the Company’s auctions to remarket their vehicles. Chrysler and GM have publicly announced that they intend to significantly reduce the number of franchised dealerships. The impact of the reduced number of franchised dealerships is not expected to have a material impact on the financial performance of the Company.
The availability of financing to franchised dealerships and consumers from the original equipment manufacturers’ captive finance companies and their respective remarketing programs may impact the supply of vehicles to the wholesale auction industry in the future. A change in the supply of used vehicles could impact the value of used vehicles sold, conversion rates and ADESA’s profitability on the sale of vehicles.
On April 30, 2009, Chrysler, the nation’s third-largest automaker, filed for bankruptcy protection. For the year ended December 31, 2008, vehicles remarketed by Chrysler represented approximately 4% of the used vehicles sold by the Company. At the time of bankruptcy, the Company had less than $1 million in accounts receivable from Chrysler.
Seasonality
The volume of vehicles sold at the Company’s auctions generally fluctuates from quarter to quarter. This seasonality is affected by several factors including weather, the timing of used vehicles available for sale from selling customers, the availability and quality of salvage vehicles, holidays, and the seasonality of the retail market for used vehicles, which affects the demand side of the auction industry. Used vehicle auction volumes tend to decline during prolonged periods of winter weather conditions. In addition, mild weather conditions and decreases in traffic volume can each lead to a decline in the available supply of salvage vehicles because fewer traffic accidents occur, resulting in fewer damaged vehicles overall. As a result, revenues and operating expenses related to volume will fluctuate accordingly on a quarterly basis. The fourth calendar quarter typically experiences lower used vehicle auction volume as well as additional costs associated with the holidays and winter weather.

The Company’s revenue is derived from auction fees and related services at its whole car and salvage auction facilities and dealer financing fees and net interest income at AFC. Although auction revenues primarily include the auction services and related fees, the Company’s related receivables and payables include the value of the vehicles sold. AFC’s net revenue consists primarily of securitization income and interest and fee income less provisions for credit losses. Securitization income is primarily comprised of the gain on sale of finance receivables sold, but also includes servicing income, discount accretion, and any change in the fair value of the retained interest in finance receivables sold. Operating expenses for the Company consist of cost of services, selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization. Cost of services is composed of payroll and related costs, subcontract services, supplies, insurance, property taxes, utilities, maintenance and lease expense related to the auction sites and loan offices. Cost of services excludes depreciation and amortization. Selling, general and administrative expenses are composed of indirect payroll and related costs, sales and marketing, information technology services and professional fees.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2009
For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company had revenue of $442.5 million compared with revenue of $462.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of 4%. For a further discussion of revenues, gross profit and selling, general and administrative expenses, see the segment results discussions below.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased $11.0 million, or 19%, to $46.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared with interest expense of $57.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in interest expense was the result of payments on Term Loan B of $59.3 million throughout 2008 which decreased the outstanding principal balance of the Company’s debt. In addition, a decrease in interest rates over the past twelve months has reduced interest expense for the Company’s variable rate debt instruments.
31
Other (Income) Expense
Other expense was $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared with other expense of $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, representing a decrease of $0.9 million. The change in other (income) expense is primarily representative of smaller foreign currency transaction losses in 2009 as well as a decrease in interest income resulting from a decrease in interest rates in 2009 compared with 2008.
Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate decreased from a benefit of 53.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to a benefit of 46.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in the tax rate is primarily attributable to lower state taxes and taxes on the Company’s international operations.

Revenue
Revenue from ADESA Auctions increased $3.2 million, or 1%, to $288.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared with $285.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in revenue was primarily a result of a 2% increase in the number of vehicles sold, offset by a 1% decrease in revenue per vehicle sold for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2008.
The 1% decrease in revenue per vehicle sold resulted in decreased auctions revenue of approximately $0.6 million. The decrease in revenue per vehicle sold was primarily attributable to fluctuations in the Canadian exchange rate which decreased revenue by approximately $11.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2008. Partially offsetting the impact of the Canadian exchange rate was a net increase in ancillary services such as transportation and other services which resulted in increased ADESA Auctions revenue of approximately $7.3 million. The higher transportation and other ancillary services revenues also resulted in corresponding increases in cost of services. Incremental fee income related to selective fee increases resulted in increased ADESA Auctions revenue of approximately $3.5 million. The decrease in revenue per vehicle sold was also impacted by lower auction revenues in relation to lower wholesale prices and a decrease in reconditioning services due to a change in the mix of vehicles entered. Although the revenue per vehicle sold decreased, overall revenue increased based on higher volumes.
The total number of used vehicles sold at ADESA Auctions increased 2% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared with three months ended March 31, 2008, resulting in an increase in ADESA Auctions revenue of approximately $3.8 million. The volume sold increase was attributable to acquisitions.
32
The used vehicle conversion percentage, calculated as the number of vehicles sold as a percentage of the number of vehicles entered for sale at the Company’s used vehicle auctions, increased to 71.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared with 63.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in conversion rates is representative of stronger demand and a change in the mix of vehicles sold toward more institutional vehicles which convert at a higher rate.
Gross Profit
For the three months ended March 31, 2009, gross profit in the ADESA Auctions segment decreased $0.1 million, or less than 1%, to $119.3 million. Gross margin for ADESA Auctions was 41.4% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared with 41.9% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the ADESA Auctions segment decreased $5.0 million, or 9%, to $52.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2008, primarily due to a $3.2 million decrease in marketing costs, a $1.9 million decrease related to fluctuations in the Canadian exchange rate, a $1.4 million decrease in bad debt expense and a $1.1 million decrease in professional fees, partially offset by a $1.3 million increase in severance costs and related employee benefit costs and a $1.1 million increase in costs at acquired sites.

Revenue
Revenue from IAAI decreased $4.1 million, or 3%, to $138.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared with $142.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in revenue was primarily a result of a decline in average selling price for vehicles sold at auction. This was partially offset by a 5% increase in salvage vehicles sold during the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in salvage vehicles sold was a result of volumes provided by acquisitions and greenfields.
Gross Profit
For the three months ended March 31, 2009, gross profit at IAAI decreased to $46.2 million, or 33% of revenue, compared with $51.0 million, or 36% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The gross profit decrease was primarily the result of the decrease in revenue. Cost of services increased due to increases related to acquisitions and greenfields and costs associated with the increased volumes. In addition, IAAI
33
experienced a $2.2 million increase in tow costs primarily due to increased fuel costs and related tow charges and an increase in the number of vehicles towed. These increases were partially offset by cost reductions in supplies, travel, advertising, and auction costs.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses at IAAI decreased $2.8 million, or 16%, to $15.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared with $17.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was attributable to decreases in integration expenses and incentive compensation based on the performance of IAAI.

Revenue
For the three months ended March 31, 2009, AFC revenue decreased $18.7 million, or 54%, to $16.2 million, compared with $34.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in revenue was the result of a 29% decrease in revenue per loan transaction for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared with the same period in 2008 and a 34% decrease in loan transactions to 204,076 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
Revenue per loan transaction, which includes both loans paid off and loans curtailed, decreased $32, or 29%, primarily as a result of an increase in credit losses for both loans held and sold, a decrease in the average loan value and a decrease in other revenue.
Gross Profit
For the three months ended March 31, 2009, gross profit for the AFC segment decreased $18.0 million, or 69%, to $8.1 million primarily as a result of a 54% decrease in revenue.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company believes that the significant indicators of liquidity for its business are cash on hand, cash flow from operations, working capital and amounts available under its credit facility. The Company’s principal sources of liquidity consist of cash generated by operations and borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

Working Capital
A substantial amount of the Company’s working capital is generated from the payments received for services provided. The majority of the Company’s working capital needs are short-term in nature, usually less than a week in duration. Due to the decentralized nature of the business, payments for most vehicles purchased are received at each auction and loan production office. Most of the financial institutions place a temporary hold on the availability of the funds deposited that can range up to two business days, resulting in cash in the Company’s accounts and on its balance sheet that is unavailable for use until it is made available by the various financial institutions. Over the years, the Company has increased the amount of funds that are available for immediate use and is actively working on initiatives that will continue to decrease the time between the deposit of and the availability of funds received from customers. There are outstanding checks (book overdrafts) to sellers and vendors included in current liabilities. Because a portion of these outstanding checks for operations in
35
the U.S. are drawn upon bank accounts at financial institutions other than the financial institutions that hold the cash, the Company cannot offset all the cash and the outstanding checks on its balance sheet.
AFC offers short-term inventory-secured financing, also known as floorplan financing, to used vehicle dealers. Financing is primarily provided for terms of 30 to 60 days. AFC principally generates its funding through the sale of its U.S. dollar denominated receivables. For further discussion of AFC’s securitization arrangements, see “—Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements”.
Credit Facilities
KAR Holdings has a $300 million revolving line of credit as part of the Company’s $1,865 million Credit Agreement, which was undrawn as of March 31, 2009. There were related outstanding letters of credit totaling approximately $29.3 million at March 31, 2009, which reduce the amount available under the senior credit facility. In addition, the Company’s Canadian operations have a C$8 million line of credit which was undrawn as of March 31, 2009. There were related letters of credit outstanding totaling approximately $1.6 million at March 31, 2009, which reduce the amount available under the Canadian line of credit, but do not impact amounts available under KAR Holdings’ senior credit facility.
The Credit Agreement contains certain restrictive loan covenants, including, among others, financial covenants requiring a maximum consolidated senior secured leverage ratio, provided there are revolving loans outstanding, and covenants limiting the Company’s ability to incur indebtedness, grant liens, make acquisitions, be acquired, dispose of assets, pay dividends, make capital expenditures and make investments. The leverage ratio covenants are based on consolidated Adjusted EBITDA which is EBITDA (earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) adjusted to exclude among other things (a) gains and losses from asset sales; (b) unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses in respect of indebtedness; (c) certain non-recurring gains and losses; (d) stock option expense; (e) certain other noncash amounts included in the determination of net income; (f) management, monitoring, consulting and advisory fees paid to the Equity Sponsors; (g) charges and revenue reductions resulting from purchase accounting; (h) unrealized gains and losses on hedge agreements; (i) minority interest expense; (j) expenses associated with the consolidation of salvage operations; (k) consulting expenses incurred for cost reduction, operating restructuring and business improvement efforts; (l) expenses realized upon the termination of employees and the termination or cancellation of leases, software licenses or other contracts in connection with the operational restructuring and business improvement efforts; (m) expenses incurred in connection with permitted acquisitions; and (n) any impairment charges or write-offs of intangibles.
The covenants contained within the senior credit facility are critical to an investor’s understanding of the Company’s financial liquidity, as the violation of these covenants could cause a default and lenders could elect to declare all amounts borrowed due and payable. In addition, the indentures governing the Company’s notes contain certain financial and operational restrictions on paying dividends and other distributions, making certain acquisitions or investments, incurring indebtedness, granting liens and selling assets. These financial covenants affect the Company’s operating flexibility by, among other things, restricting its ability to incur expenses and indebtedness that could be used to grow the business, as well as to fund general corporate purposes. The Company was in compliance with the covenants in the credit facility at March 31, 2009.
In accordance with the terms in the Credit Agreement, the Company prepaid approximately $51.5 million of the term loan throughout 2008 as a result of certain asset sales. The prepayments were credited to prepay in direct order of maturity the unpaid amounts due on the next eight scheduled quarterly installments of the term loan, and thereafter to the remaining scheduled quarterly installments of the term loan on a pro rata basis. As such, there are no scheduled quarterly installments due on the term loan until March 31, 2011. On March 31, 2009, $1,497.9 million was outstanding on the term loan and there were no borrowings on the revolving credit facility or the Canadian line of credit. The Company believes its sources of liquidity from its cash and cash equivalents on hand, working capital, cash provided by operating activities, and availability under its senior credit facility are
36
sufficient to meet its short and long-term operating needs for the foreseeable future. In addition, the Company believes the previously mentioned sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund the Company’s capital requirements and debt service payments for the next twelve months.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as presented herein, are supplemental measures of the Company’s performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). They are not measurements of the Company’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to revenues, net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities as measures of the Company’s liquidity.
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), plus interest expense net of interest income, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization. The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA by adjusting EBITDA for the items of income and expense and expected incremental revenue and cost savings described above in the discussion of certain restrictive loan covenants under “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Working Capital—Credit Facilities”. Management believes that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about one of the principal internal measures of performance used by the Company. Management uses the Adjusted EBITDA measure to evaluate the performance of the Company and to evaluate results relative to incentive compensation targets. Adjusted EBITDA per the Credit Agreement adds the pro forma impact of recent acquisitions, if applicable, to Adjusted EBITDA. This measure is used by the Company’s creditors in assessing debt covenant compliance and management believes its inclusion is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain covenants required pursuant to the Company’s senior secured credit facility and the notes. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per the Credit Agreement measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of the results as reported under GAAP. These measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Certain of the Company’s loan covenant calculations require financial results for the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters. The following table reconciles EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per the Credit Agreement to net income (loss) for the periods presented:

| | Three Months Ended March 31, | |
(In millions) | | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
Net cash provided by (used for): | | | | | | | | |
Operating activities | | $ | 44.8 | | | $ | 20.5 | |
Investing activities | | | (8.1 | ) | | | (142.6 | ) |
Financing activities | | | 1.7 | | | | 93.8 | |

| | | | | | | | |
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 38.1 | | | | ($30.2 | ) |
| | | | | | | | |
Cash flow from operating activities was $44.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared with $20.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in operating cash flow was primarily impacted by changes in operating assets and liabilities. The change in operating assets was driven by a smaller increase in trade receivables and other assets for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Net cash used for investing activities was $8.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared with $142.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in net cash used for investing activities is the result of no acquisitions in the first three months of 2009 compared to the 14 auctions that were acquired in the first three months of 2008. In addition, the Company has spent $8.4 million less for capital items in the first three months of 2009 compared with the first three months of 2008. For a discussion of the Company’s capital expenditures, see “Capital Expenditures” below.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared with $93.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities was primarily attributable to a smaller increase in book overdrafts for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2008. In addition, the Company repaid $4.5 million on its lines of credit in the first three months of 2009 compared to borrowing $27.7 million on the lines of credit in the first three months of 2008.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2009 approximated $10.7 million, excluding $1.4 million of capital expenditures related to the relocation of ADESA Kansas City, which is expected to be financed in 2009. Capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2008 approximated $91.6 million, excluding $38.0 million of capital expenditures related to the relocation of ADESA Kansas City, which is expected to be financed in 2009. Capital expenditures were funded primarily from internally generated funds. The Company continues to invest in its core information technology capabilities and capacity expansion. Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $75 million for fiscal year 2009, which includes approximately $50 million for maintenance capital expenditures. Anticipated expenditures are primarily attributable to ongoing information system maintenance, upkeep and improvements at existing vehicle auction facilities, improvements in information technology systems and infrastructure and expansion and relocation of existing auction sites that are at capacity. Future capital expenditures could vary substantially based on capital project timing and the initiation of new information systems projects to support the Company’s business strategies.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
AFC sells the majority of its U.S. dollar denominated finance receivables on a revolving basis and without recourse to a wholly owned, bankruptcy remote, consolidated, special purpose subsidiary (“AFC Funding Corporation”), established for the purpose of purchasing AFC’s finance receivables. A securitization agreement
38
allows for the revolving sale by AFC Funding Corporation to a bank conduit facility of up to a maximum of $750 million in undivided interests in certain eligible finance receivables subject to committed liquidity. The agreement expires on April 20, 2012. AFC Funding Corporation had committed liquidity of $450 million at March 31, 2009. Receivables that AFC Funding sells to the bank conduit facility qualify for sales accounting for financial reporting purposes pursuant to SFAS 140,Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities, and as a result are not reported on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.
On January 30, 2009, AFC and AFC Funding entered into an amendment to the Receivables Purchase Agreement with the other parties named therein. The aggregate maximum commitment of the Purchasers was reduced from $600 million to $450 million. In addition, the calculation of the Purchasers’ participation was amended, reducing the amount received by AFC Funding upon the sale of an interest in the receivables to the Purchasers. Certain of the covenants in the Receivables Purchase Agreement that are tied to the performance of the finance receivables portfolio were also modified.
In light of the current economic and industry conditions, AFC has implemented a number of strategic initiatives designed to tighten credit standards and reduce risk and exposure in its portfolio of finance receivables. As a result of these initiatives along with market conditions, the size of AFC’s managed portfolio of finance receivables has decreased significantly over the past year from $857.6 million at March 31, 2008 to $437.6 million at March 31, 2009. AFC’s utilization of the committed liquidity under the Receivables Purchase Agreement has decreased accordingly. AFC believes the current aggregate maximum commitment of the Purchasers totaling $450 million will be adequate to meet its lending requirements until April 20, 2012, the expiration date of the bank conduit facility.
At March 31, 2009, AFC managed total finance receivables of $437.6 million, of which $367.2 million had been sold without recourse to AFC Funding Corporation. At December 31, 2008, AFC managed total finance receivables of $506.6 million, of which $436.5 million had been sold without recourse to AFC Funding Corporation. Undivided interests in finance receivables were sold by AFC Funding Corporation to the bank conduit facility with recourse totaling $243.0 million and $298.0 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. Finance receivables include $27.2 million and $6.6 million classified as held for sale which are recorded at lower of cost or fair value, and $107.6 million and $158.6 million classified as held for investment at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. Finance receivables classified as held for investment include $25.1 million and $69.8 million related to receivables that were sold to the bank conduit facility that were repurchased by AFC at fair value when they became ineligible under the terms of the collateral agreement with the bank conduit facility at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The face amount of these receivables was $29.9 million and $78.7 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
AFC’s allowance for losses of $6.5 million and $6.3 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 includes an estimate of losses for finance receivables held for investment as well as an allowance for any further deterioration in the finance receivables after they are repurchased from the bank conduit facility. Additionally, accrued liabilities of $2.6 million and $3.0 million for the estimated losses for loans sold by the special purpose subsidiary were recorded at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. These loans were sold to a bank conduit facility with recourse to the special purpose subsidiary and will come back on the balance sheet of the special purpose subsidiary at fair market value if they become ineligible under the terms of the collateral arrangement with the bank conduit facility.
The outstanding receivables sold, the retained interests in finance receivables sold and a cash reserve of 1 or 3 percent of total sold receivables serve as security for the receivables that have been sold to the bank conduit facility. The amount of the cash reserve depends on circumstances which are set forth in the securitization agreement. After the occurrence of a termination event, as defined in the securitization agreement, the bank conduit facility may, and could, cause the stock of AFC Funding Corporation to be transferred to the bank conduit facility, though as a practical matter the bank conduit facility would look to the liquidation of the receivables under the transaction documents as their primary remedy.
39
Proceeds from the revolving sale of receivables to the bank conduit facility are used to fund new loans to customers. AFC and AFC Funding Corporation must maintain certain financial covenants including, among others, limits on the amount of debt AFC can incur, minimum levels of tangible net worth, and other covenants tied to the performance of the finance receivables portfolio. The securitization agreement also incorporates the financial covenants of the Company’s credit facility. At March 31, 2009, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in the securitization agreement.
Critical Accounting Estimates
In preparing the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, management must often make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Some of those judgments can be subjective and complex. Consequently, actual results could differ from those estimates. Accounting measurements that management believes are most critical to the reported results of operations and financial condition of the Company include: uncollectible receivables and allowance for credit losses and doubtful accounts, goodwill and long-lived assets, self-insurance programs, legal proceedings and other loss contingencies and income taxes.
In addition to the critical accounting estimates, there are other items used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that require estimation, but are not deemed critical. Changes in estimates used in these and other items could have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
KAR Holdings continually evaluates the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the consolidated financial statements. In cases where management estimates are used, they are based on historical experience, information from third-party professionals, and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. The Company’s critical accounting estimates are discussed in the “Critical Accounting Estimates” section of “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, the Company’s most significant accounting polices are discussed in Note 2 and elsewhere in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, which includes audited financial statements.
New Accounting Standards
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157,Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, establishes a hierarchy based on the observability of inputs used to measure fair value and requires expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008, with respect to financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value. In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-2,Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which delayed the effective date by one year for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, at least annually. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-2 on January 1, 2009 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(R),Business Combinations. The statement establishes principles and requirements for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets and goodwill acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in an acquisition, at their fair value as of the acquisition date. In addition, in relation to previous acquisitions, the provisions of SFAS 141(R) will require any release of existing income tax valuation allowances or recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits initially established through purchase accounting to be included in earnings rather than as an adjustment to goodwill. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company adopted SFAS 141(R)
40
on January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 141(R) did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. However, depending on the extent and size of future acquisitions, if any, the adoption may have material effects.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an Amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51. The statement amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted SFAS 160 on January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 160 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161,Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. This new standard requires enhanced disclosures for derivative instruments, including those used in hedging activities. These enhanced disclosures include information about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted SFAS 161 on January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 161 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 162,The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.The statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. This standard is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411,The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 162 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
Foreign Currency
The Company’s foreign currency exposure is limited and arises from transactions denominated in foreign currencies, particularly intercompany loans, as well as from translation of the results of operations from the Company’s Canadian and, to a much lesser extent, Mexican subsidiaries. However, fluctuations between U.S. and non-U.S. currency values may adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and financial position. In addition, there are tax inefficiencies in repatriating cash from non-U.S. subsidiaries. To the extent such repatriation is necessary for the Company to meet its debt service or other obligations, these tax inefficiencies may adversely affect KAR Holdings, Inc. The Company has not entered into any foreign exchange contracts to hedge changes in the Canadian or Mexican exchange rates. Canadian currency translation negatively affected net loss by approximately $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Currency exposure of the Company’s Mexican operations is not material to the results of operations.
Interest Rates
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on borrowings. Accordingly, interest rate fluctuations affect the amount of interest expense the Company is obligated to pay. The Company uses an interest rate swap agreement to manage the variability of cash flows to be paid due to interest rate movements on its variable rate debt. The Company has designated its interest rate swap agreement as a cash flow hedge. The earnings impact of
41
the interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedge is recorded upon the recognition of the interest related to the hedged debt. Any ineffectiveness in the hedging relationship is recognized in current earnings. There was no significant ineffectiveness in the first three months of 2009 or 2008.
In July 2007, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $800 million to manage its exposure to interest rate movements on its variable rate Term Loan B credit facility. The interest rate swap agreement matures on June 30, 2009 and effectively results in a fixed LIBOR interest rate of 5.345% on $800 million of the Term Loan B credit facility.
The fair value of the interest rate swap agreement is estimated using pricing models widely used in financial markets and represents the estimated amount the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreement at the reporting date. At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement was an $8.3 million unrealized loss and a $16.3 million unrealized loss recorded in “Other accrued expenses”, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Changes in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in “Other comprehensive income”. Unrealized gains or losses on the interest rate swap agreement are included as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income”. At March 31, 2009, there was a net unrealized loss totaling $5.2 million, net of tax benefits of $3.1 million. At December 31, 2008, there was a net unrealized loss totaling $10.3 million, net of tax benefits of $6.0 million. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparties; however, non-performance is not anticipated. The Company has only partially hedged its exposure to interest rate fluctuations on its variable rate debt. A sensitivity analysis of the impact on the Company’s variable rate debt instruments to a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in short-term rates for the three months ended March 31, 2009 would have resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $2.1 million.
Item 4T. | Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a–15(e) and 15d–15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at March 31, 2009.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2009, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
42
PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
The Company is involved in litigation and disputes arising in the ordinary course of business, such as actions related to injuries; property damage; handling, storage or disposal of vehicles; environmental laws and regulations; and other litigation incidental to the business such as employment matters and dealer disputes. Such litigation is generally not, in the opinion of management, likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Certain legal proceedings in which the Company is involved are discussed in Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and Part I, Item 3 of the same Annual Report. Unless otherwise indicated, all proceedings discussed in the earlier Report remain outstanding.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, readers should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, which could materially affect KAR Holdings’ business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to KAR Holdings or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and/or operating results.
